Olympics bronze medallist boxer Vijender Kumar does not have time for Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu, but would carry flowers, rather than boxing gloves, if he was to meet her.

Reminded at a felicitation programme here Monday evening that the star had promised a date with him if he won a medal in the Beijing Olympics, Vijender's initial response was: "I have no time to go to her."

However, the handsome Vijender added after a pause: "But if I ever go to her, I will go with flowers, and not with my boxing gloves."
